The Client
Ochsner Health System is southeast Louisiana’s largest non-profit, academic, multi-specialty, healthcare delivery system with eight hospitals and over 38 health centers in Louisiana. Ochsner has been named the Consumer Choice for Healthcare in New Orleans for 16 consecutive years and is the only Louisiana hospital recognized by U.S. News and World Report as a “Best Hospital” across seven specialty categories. Ochsner employs more than 12,500 employees, over 850 physicians in over 90 medical specialties and subspecialties and conducts over 300 clinical research trials annually.
The Challenge
Ochsner Health System prides itself on a reputation for innovation and creativity, so when it came time to staff a 200 person training team, Ochnser wanted something outside the box. Additionally, Ochsner is an integral part of the New Orleans community and saw this as an opportunity to hire locally and give back to the community they service. But, how? Ochsner needed a highly skilled and qualified team to help them roll out their new electronic medical record (EMR) and wanted to hire local New Orleans residents. This training team would complete an intensive classroom training curriculum and once credentialed, would train end users across the entire health system. As a company, Ochsner’s time was dedicated to the design and build of their EMR, so who had the time to find and hire this team? Was it even possible to find people locally to fill these healthcare IT jobs?
